Internations is threatening to take me to collections and is not allowing me to cancel my membership until I pay for an Albatross memberships that I will NEVER use as the pandemic has relocated me to the US. They say it is "within German law" to do this.
They do NOT warn you that they are about to charge your credit card and since mine was not active they did not get to sneak my money without my knowledge. They are now threatening collection.
I am asking for leniency, as I will never use this service now that I am no longer an expatriate and my visa has been cancelled. They have been rigid and unmoving to all requests. There is no leniency provided for extenuating circumstances such as an 8,000 mile relocation due to a global pandemic.
While is is only a 60 USD charge, I do not agree to paying it. I will not use the membership. The only way for me to cancel is to renew which is ridiculous.
Hello at 12 Dec 2018 I sing in for albatros Membership with the Internations.org. The membership I contrated were for a year, the time pass to right now they want me to obligate me to pay the renew the membership that I do not ask for.
I thought I cancelled my free membership because we were unhappy with the service.
We signed up because they posted an event that was only available to members. That was the start of our free membership trial. When we got there we realized that none of these people present were part of internations or had heard of it.
The host then told us that she only used internations to advertise the event. Very misleading, as the point of the membership is to be a part of a specific community.
There was of course, a charge to get in to the event too.
That was when I decided to cancel. Then I get a charge for $83.40. I contacted my bank and they said that the account was still active.
I went back to the site and tried to delete my account again but the button doesn't seem to work. I tried a few times and contacted customer support.
Great business model for scammers = surprise membership charge + no ability to cancel
